Make Beautiful Jewelry

Learn to Weave

If you’re looking for inspiration, advice, and to learn more about weaving history, the contributors and editors of Handwoven have got you covered! Some of us weave in our spare time, some of us are production weavers, and some of us are teachers–but we all love weaving with a passion!

Once you've woven your cloth, worked the pattern to get the fit right, and cut out the pieces, now is the best part of the journey. Daryl will explore areas of construction from properly reinforcing collar points to which sewing machine needles are best. You will learn what seam finishes work, when and how to best apply them, whether the garment is lined or not. Daryl will cover more than half a dozen seam finishes to stabilize and celebrate handwoven silhouettes.
